Back to the topic. Like Menadue
Knows where to run

Too bad he hardly does it. 14 disposals for a wingmen/high half forward is pretty low

Connor Menadue backs Buddy Franklin over AFL bump

Sydney superstar Lance Franklin's chances of avoiding an AFL suspension have received a boost thanks to Richmond's Connor Menadue.

Franklin was reported for rough conduct on Menadue in the second quarter of the Swans' stunning come-from-behind win at the MCG on Saturday.

Menadue was taken high by Franklin as he bent over to collect a loose ball.

A bump to the head would likely see Franklin offered a suspension by the AFL match review panel, but the young Tiger shed further light on the incident on Sunday.

"I was alright (this morning) it was more my shoulder than my head," Menadue told Fox Sports News.

"I'm a bit sore but it's alright.

"I had a couple of mates send (the vision) to me and get into me a bit.

"But it's alright - it was more my shoulder. It should be right.

"I wasn't dazed or anything ... it was just an impact then it got a bit sore as the game went on."

The resurgent Swans are one game outside the eight after the nine-point win and will be desperate to have Franklin available for Friday night's clash against Essendon at the SCG.

Asked if he'd be OK if Franklin avoided a suspension, Menadue replied: "I'm pretty easy with that stuff ... it's footy. It's a tough game."

Fair dinkum when talking about players to drop take your pick.
Menadue, Lloyd, Houli, B Ellis, Rioli, Butler, Castagna,Edwards, you could make a strong case to drop any of them and if any one of them was dropped id be shocked if anyone was surprised.

The first to go should be those who are weak bastards who shirk contact and panic under any sort of pressure imo Bellis, Edwards, Houli and Menadue .If that is not enough outs  Follow that up with those who dont touch the ball in a game.
Theres two starting points that should be written in stone.

I agree and I'm on record as saying Menadue won't make it but here's hoping last week was a hiccup considering his improvement the two weeks prior

Last week was not great but i think he makes it and becomes a very good player.

[Hard Roar Tiger]

He looks quite talented to me but my general issue is the lack of breakthrough talent at the club aged under 23.
I'd love someone to step out and deliver a Zach Merrett or Patrick Cripps type breakout year.

[big tone]

One thing is for sure, he is as weak as pee.
I don't think he will make it either. But at Richmond that probably means he plays 100 games.
He is heading in the BEllis direction imo.

He should have been dropped this week.

But Betamax Jackson and BJ Hartley and our awesome recruiting team thought he was something special.

As long as he's a great kid that loves his grandma. 

Let's not fix something that isn't  broken. Time to give them all extra bucks and bonuses so they don't get poached by other clubs banging down the punt road doors for the best recruiting team money can buy. 

The blue print to success

I thought today was Connor's best game for the Club. At least the most effective with those forward runs out of congestion.

[dwaino]

Played well both ends.

[Chuck17]

Didn't see him shirk one today

[Ruanaidh]

Played well both ends.

He'll be a top midfielder in two years I reckon. Happy for the kid.

[Willy]

Yep. I'm a Due fan. Thing I like most about him is his poise after he goes on one of his runs. He doesn't just blaze away. Good user.

[The Machine]

Solid game and must continue with the momentum. He is clean and makes good decisions. A few more kilograms will see him become a very good midfielder 

[YellowandBlackBlood]

Deceptively quick...
